Communist Chinese Troops on U.S. Soil for “Exchange” Mission

Following a recent uproar surrounding the Obama administration’s hosting of Russian airborne terror troops for joint drills with U.S. military forces
in Colorado, outrage is growing about the latest scandal involving
foreign forces on American soil. This week, reportedly for the first
time ever, soldiers for the mass-murdering Communist Party regime ruling
mainland China have been working on “disaster management” with American
troops on U.S. soil — supposedly for “humanitarian” purposes. Western
analysts and commentators expressed alarm over the developments, but the
ruthless dictatorship in Beijing touted the scheme widely across its
propaganda organs.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which recently announced broad cooperation with Russian authorities,
is also involved in the joint drills between American and Chinese
forces. According to officials and news reports, the exercises,
currently underway in Hawaii, began on November 12 and will run for two
days. Among other elements, the communist regime’s “Ministry of Defense”
was cited in Beijing propaganda outlets as saying that the major subjects would include “weapon demonstration, technique exchange, and cooperative action.”

Lt. Col. Jeffrey Pool, a spokesman for the Pentagon, denied to The New American
that any weapons were involved. Instead, he said the U.S.-China
exchange dealt exclusively with humanitarian-oriented endeavors such as
learning to set up refugee camps, rescue survivors, and similar
operations. According to a statement sent by e-mail, the scenario
involved U.S. and Chinese forces providing “disaster response
assistance” to a fictional third country. The latest scheme also marks a
significant expansion over previous annual exchanges, which have
occurred since 1998 but have not included field exercises on U.S.
soil.

“This exchange is a meaningful area of cooperation
that is part of an already healthy program of military-to-military
engagement between the United States and China,” Lt. Col. Pool said in
the statement. “This exchange between the U.S. and [People’s Republic of
China] PRC militaries builds cooperative capacity that enhances our
ability to respond collectively to disasters.” It will also promote
“greater understanding of our respective military institutions in ways
that dispel misconceptions” while advancing “common approaches to global
challenges by building productive working relationships,” he added.

U.S. Admiral Samuel Locklear, commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, was quoted
as telling reporters last week that the bilateral scheme would help
“foster trust” between the two militaries. “These types of exercises
give us a good place to start and to kind of get into the rhythm of
understanding and trusting each other,” he explained in widely quoted
comments. “I think it'll be a great exercise.” Why the Obama
administration would want American forces to trust troops in the service
of one of the most brutal regimes in world history was not immediately
clear.

About 50 Americans were involved in the joint scheme,
according to officials and news reports. Among the participants: troops
and civilians with U.S. Army Pacific, the Hawaii National Guard, the
Army Corps of Engineers, and FEMA. The communist regime was reportedly
expected to send some 60 soldiers and “observers.” Officials on both
sides acknowledged that the deeply controversial military exercises in
the Hawaiian Islands represent the first time in history that the
Chinese autocracy’s forces have been sent to U.S. territory for such an
exchange.

However, it is not the first time the two militaries
have trained together, and cooperation between the U.S. armed services
and the ruthless dictatorship’s “People’s Liberation Army” is set to
expand further next year. According to multiple reports, 2014 will mark
the first time that the communist regime — responsible for murdering more innocents
than any other entity in human history — will have its military and war
ships participating in the “RIMPAC war games” off the U.S. coast. The
“multinational” scheme, the largest of its kind in the world, involves
militaries serving governments across the Pacific Rim, including
Russia.

It is also not the first time in recent memory that
leadership of the U.S. and Chinese militaries have been publicly
warming up to each other. Earlier this year, Maj. Gen. Zhu Chenghu led a high-level military delegation to Washington, D.C.,
as part of a “military exchange program.” The controversial communist
military chief became infamous in 2005, when he openly discussed raining
nuclear missiles on the United States to destroy “hundreds of cities”
if the U.S. government stood by its defense pact with Taiwan. The
communist dictatorship in Beijing, of course, still hopes to enslave the
free people of the island at some point.

U.S. officials mostly
tried to downplay the significance of the scheme as well as potential
national-security concerns. Critics, though, were deeply suspicious. Of
course, the Chinese regime is notorious for, among other controversial
activities, its gargantuan espionage apparatus aimed at America, Western companies, dissidents, and more.
Still, U.S. Army Pacific civil military operations chief Col. Bill
Florig noted last month that the ongoing event is the largest between
Americans and Chinese forces — and that the expansion of the exchange is
important.

“What we are trying to emphasize in this exchange is our inherent flexibility,” Col. Florig was quoted
as saying, noting that U.S. Army Pacific seeks a “multinational
approach” to all its missions. “They (China) are looking to see that
flexibility that we have demonstrated so often in the past in disaster
response. What’s important about doing this with the Chinese is it ...
is a confident first step to moving forward to working with them in the
future in situations like this.” Another U.S. officer, Col. John Lee,
strategy and plans officer for security cooperation and policy at U.S.
Army Pacific, added: “We’re always seeking to work more closely with
them.”

Beijing, meanwhile, hyped the potential benefits of the
exchange in various Communist Party propaganda organs. “During the joint
drill held in the U.S., the Chinese side needs to get familiar with
combat situations in different environments worldwide, and meanwhile be
acquainted with foreign militaries, especially the trend in world
military power represented by the U.S.,” analyst Hong Yuan at the
Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) Institute of American Studies
was quoted as saying in People’s Daily.
He also noted that the “U.S. cannot figure out China's military
development, and thus needs to know the trend and real combat
effectiveness of the Chinese military through the joint drill,” the
paper reported. U.S. officials, by contrast, said there would be no
combat exercises or weapons.

While the communist regime gave the
impression that the U.S. government had extended the invitation,
American officials suggested it was actually the communist regime’s
idea. Both sides, however, seemed pleased about the increasing
cooperation; with the tightly controlled Chinese regime’s propaganda
organs and American officials all celebrating the training and growing
bonds. After finishing up in Hawaii, “senior officers” with the Chinese
regime’s delegation will travel to Washington, D.C., and New York.

Meanwhile, in the United States, supposed “companies” owned and operated by the regime have been buying up
gargantuan quantities of American assets: everything from banks and
cinema chains to industrial companies, government bonds, and energy
supplies are being gobbled up. More than a few analysts have suggested
that the communist regime’s intentions are less than pure
— especially considering its rhetoric and gross oppression of well over
a billion people. Its alliances with barbaric despots around the world
are troubling as well, analysts say.

Indeed, other than the PRC
ally brutalizing and enslaving the people of North Korea, it is hard to
imagine a less-worthy regime for U.S. forces to have military
“exchanges” with. Despite the rising concerns, though, the Obama
administration and the United Nations have been ramping up cooperation with ruthless autocracies at a record pace in recent years. Just this week, the communist regime was elected to the UN “Human Rights” Council while one of the PRC’s functionaries took over UNESCO. Without an outcry from the American people, the trends will almost certainly continue to accelerate.
